# find

> Find files under the given directory tree, recursively.

- Find files by extension:

`find {{root_path}} -name {{'*.py'}}`

- Find files matching path pattern:

`find {{root_path}} -path {{'**/lib/**/*.py'}}`

- Run a command for each file, use {} within the command to access the filename:

`find {{root_path}} -name {{'*.py'}} -exec {{wc -l {} }}\;`

- Find files modified since a certain time:

`find {{root_path}} -name {{'*.py'}} -mtime {{-1d}}`

- Find files using case insensitive name matching, of a certain size:

`find {{root_path}} -size +500k -size -10MB -iname {{'*.TaR.gZ'}}`

- Delete files by name, older than a certain number of days:

`find {{root_path}} -name {{'*.py'}} -mtime {{-180d}} -delete`
